Yes that deffitinly sounds like a broken baffel in the muffler. I get the popping sounds only when I am driving, and never at idle. I would get your muffler checked out and probably will need to be replaced.

Does broken baffels normally sound like backfires. Sometimes they are deeper and also I will get one deep bassy blurp. like a botor motor makes whenit is in water and is shut off. It is almost like you can feel the pressure build up and the blurp.

I have been having the same exact problem after I installed my Kooks headers and Catted Y pipe. Although at idle, I hear a tick tick tick tick sound, so I am convinced that I have an exhaust leak somewhere. I am running open Y pipe right now, and I have that loud popping noise when deccelerating and or downshifting. I am gonna try to find the exhaust leak and see if that fixes it, and I am waiting for my GMMG exhaust so once I get that hooked up maybe that will fix it. I heard another possibilty could be a bad o2 sensor.

I appreciate your reply. I am open to any sugestions. How do they find where the leak is. This my sound like a stupid ? but is there a leak detector.
